Dr. Seetal Dhaliwal is the Medical Director of Evolved Hair Restoration Australia, bringing together a strong medical background, surgical discipline, and a compassionate, patient-centred approach to modern hair restoration.

Before entering hair restoration, Dr. Dhaliwal worked across multiple Australian hospitals, gaining broad clinical experience in emergency medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, psychiatry, and general surgery. Her surgical background developed her appreciation for precision, detail, anatomical understanding, and hands-on procedural work, while her wider medical experience shaped a calm and empathetic approach to patient care.

Dr. Dhaliwal’s journey into hair restoration medicine began in 2024, after pursuing a pathway in general surgery. She was drawn to hair transplantation because it combines medical science, surgical skill, and artistic judgement. For Dr. Dhaliwal, hair restoration is not simply about replacing lost hair. It is about restoring facial balance, rebuilding confidence, and creating results that look natural, age-appropriate, and personally suited to each patient. She undertook advanced training under Dr. Sambav Upadhyay (a Master Surgeon and International Medical Director at Evolved Hair Clinics), refining her skills in follicular unit extraction, graft handling, Direct Follicle implantation, hairline design, donor management, and the clinical principles required to achieve safe, natural-looking outcomes.

As Medical Director, Dr. Dhaliwal plays a key role in maintaining Evolved Hair Restoration’s clinical standards across Australia. Her approach combines careful medical assessment, honest patient education, and meticulous surgical planning. She believes every patient deserves a clear understanding of their hair loss, their treatment options, and the realistic outcomes that may be achieved.

Dr. Dhaliwal also holds a professional interest in emerging areas of medicine, including cannabinoid, longevity, and regenerative medicine reflecting her broader commitment to progressive and evidence-informed healthcare.

Patients working with Dr. Dhaliwal can expect a calm, thoughtful, and highly detailed consultation process. She takes the time to understand each person’s goals, hair loss history, medical background, donor capacity, and long-term hair restoration plan. Her focus is always on achieving results that are safe, ethical, natural-looking, and designed to support the patient for the years ahead.

With her hospital experience, surgical foundation, advanced hair restoration training, and warm patient-focused manner, Dr. Seetal Dhaliwal represents the next generation of hair restoration medicine at Evolved Hair Restoration Australia.

Dr Anita Cottee is a Hair Restoration Surgeon at Evolved Hair Restoration, where she specialises exclusively in modern follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplantation using the clinic’s proprietary Direct Follicle Insertion (DFI) technique.

Over the past several years, Dr Cottee has spent thousands of hours in hair restoration surgery, participating in every aspect of the surgical journey—from patient assessment and surgical planning through to follicular extraction, recipient site creation, graft placement and long-term postoperative care. This concentrated surgical experience has provided her with a deep understanding of both the technical and artistic principles required to deliver exceptional results.

Dr Cottee has developed a particular interest in:

• Hairline refinement and facial framing
• Frontal and temporal restoration
• Scar camouflage
• Corrective hair transplant procedures
• Long-term donor management and protection

Her approach combines meticulous surgical technique with careful long-term planning, ensuring each procedure not only restores hair but also preserves future treatment options. Every surgical plan is tailored to the individual patient’s pattern of hair loss, donor characteristics and lifetime goals.

Working within Evolved Hair Restoration’s evidence-based protocols, Dr Cottee incorporates advanced imaging, Trichological assessment and donor preservation principles into every procedure. She is committed to continual professional development and contributes to the clinic’s culture of research, innovation and ongoing surgical refinement.

Dr Cottee believes that successful hair restoration is measured not simply by graft numbers, but by creating results that remain natural, age appropriately and enhance a patient’s confidence for years to come.

Paul Green is an internationally recognised trichologist, researcher and hair restoration innovator with more than 30 years of experience in the diagnosis, treatment and surgical management of hair loss. Born and trained in New Zealand, he relocated to Australia in 1998 and has since built a career combining Trichology, regenerative medicine, surgical hair restoration and clinical research.

A defining feature of Paul’s work has been his ability to identify limitations in conventional approaches and develop more precise ways to assess and treat hair loss. His innovations include advancing the classification and clinical understanding of female-pattern hair loss, helping practitioners more accurately recognise its varied presentations, monitor progression and develop treatment plans suited to the individual patient.

Paul is also the developer of the Partial Transection Technique, an innovative approach investigating the regenerative potential of partially transected hair follicles. His peer-reviewed research on the technique was published in 2024, contributing new evidence to the continuing scientific discussion around follicular regeneration, donor-area preservation and the future possibilities of hair restoration surgery.

His latest research explores the relationship between biological ageing and androgenetic alopecia. Rather than viewing androgenetic alopecia solely through the traditional lens of genetics and androgen sensitivity, this work considers how age-related cellular changes may influence follicular miniaturisation, reduced regenerative capacity and the progressive nature of pattern hair loss. The research may help establish a broader framework for understanding why androgenetic alopecia advances over time and how future treatments could target both hormonal and ageing-related mechanisms.

Throughout his career, Paul has collaborated with leading clinicians and organisations across the international hair restoration sector. As a former Head of the International Training Academy at DHI International. His work focused on integrating technical precision, aesthetic planning, donor management and patient-centred care.

In 2021, Paul co-founded Evolved Hair Restoration in Perth. Through Evolved Hair Restoration and the International Institute of Hair Restoration, he continues to develop advanced clinical protocols, train doctors and surgical teams, and investigate new approaches to hair-loss assessment, follicular preservation and long-term outcome measurement.

Paul is also leading the development of next-generation clinical intelligence and auditing systems designed specifically for hair restoration. These systems aim to connect consultation findings, pathology, treatment decisions, surgical data and long-term outcomes—allowing clinics to learn from every patient journey and continually improve clinical standards.

Paul’s career reflects a sustained commitment to challenging established assumptions and advancing hair restoration through research, innovation, education and measurable patient outcomes. His work continues to bridge the gap between Trichology and surgical medicine, with the goal of creating more personalised, scientifically informed and accountable care for people experiencing hair loss.
